“All building is in itself a dwelling…We do not dwell, because we have built, but we build and have built because we dwell, that is because we are dwellers.” — Martin Heidegger
As the German philosopher Heidegger remarks, the essence of restoration is to bring properties back to their former glory, while also breathing new life in them. The onus then is on us to build our own dwelling.
We ask: What does it mean to dwell or inhabit a building?
